The body is rather short and well knit, thelimbs strong and neatly turned, the tail isshort and no feature is so prominent that thedog appears badly proportioned. The dog

conveys an impression of determination,strength and activity, with style of a highorder; carriage easy and graceful. A propor-tionate combination of “Color and WhiteMarkings” is a particularly distinctive featureof a representative specimen.

“Balance, Expression, Color and WhiteMarkings” should be given particular consid-eration in determining the relative value ofGENERAL APPEARANCE to other points.

Size, proportion, SubStance

Thelength of leg must balance with the length ofbody to give the Boston Terrier its strikingsquare appearance. The Boston Terrier is asturdy dog and must not appear to be eitherspindly or coarse. The bone and muscle mustbe in proportion as well as an enhancementto the dog’s weight and structure. Fault:Blocky or chunky in appearance. Influence ofSex. In a comparison of specimens of eachsex, the only evident difference is a slightrefinement in the bitch's conformation.

The muzzle is short, square,wide and deep and in proportion to the skull.It is free from wrinkles, shorter in length thanin width or depth; not exceeding in lengthapproximately one-third of the length of theskull. The muzzle from stop to end of thenose is parallel to the top of the skull. Thenose is black and wide, with a well definedline between the nostrils. Disqualify: Dudleynose. The jaw is broad and square with shortregular teeth. The bite is even or sufficientlyundershot to square the muzzle. The chopsare of good depth, but not pendulous, com-pletely covering the teeth when the mouth isclosed. Serious Fault:Wry mouth.
